Story here. Excerpt:

'A TEENAGE girl who claimed a man dragged her into a toilet at Strathfield railway station and raped her, has been charged with making a false statement to police.

The 17-year-old girl told police an older man she met on the train forced her into the toilet block, where he sexually assaulted her for almost 30-minutes.
...
Later that day on January 22, a 34-year-old man was arrested and charged with sexual assault. He was refused bail.

But a few days later, police said fresh information was obtained, and the charges against the man were formally withdrawn in court.'

Following an investigation, police yesterday charged the 17-year-old girl with making a false statement.'

There are cameras everywhere. If you're going to say you were attacked by someone (anyone, or a specific person) anywhere, be sure it's someplace where there are no cameras. In particular, be sure you avoid "cameraed" areas for long enough after you plan on saying you were assaulted so that the police can't see you seemed just fine a mere 2 mins. after your claimed rape/assault/mugging/etc.

Tough out there for attention-seekers and ne'er-do-well'ers if all kinds: cameras are everywhere. Lying ain't *nearly* as easy to get away with as it used to be. But likewise for hitting, mugging, and shooting others.

"Be seeing you!"
